I just updated this post with another peeve. Speaking of peeves (and this doesn’t fit under that particular post), a couple of copyright-related things that always bug me:
It seems that I’m missing some graphics files, which might be lurking on a backup disk somewhere… or maybe they’ll have to be regenerated. I’ve been working on the old knitting patent journal entries (the first is up tomorrow), and … Continue reading
Based on the comments, I think that it’s the negative synergy theory that wins out. The plastic feel is probably amplified by the yarn structure. All round, a winner, until you discover what real fibers feel like. There’s a new … Continue reading
